“AND THE WINNER IS…”

The SOFI AWARDS

The Specialty Food Association has announced the winners for this year’s SOFI awards (The “Academy Awards” of the specialty food world)! The Di Camillo family would like to congratulate all of the winners. http://videos.specialtyfood.com/ Unfortunately, we ourselves did not win anything this year, but we certainly have had our share of awards in previous years and they are always a great honor and a wonderful acknowledgment of all the hard work and countless hours and courage that go into creating a winner in this truly
international arena.

It is, of course, wonderful to have created a product that is a runaway best-seller, but the satisfaction that comes from the acknowledgment by one’s peers and experts in the field is satisfying in ways that sales alone can’t quite match. You can’t put a SOFI award in the bank, of course: it won’t pay the bills, and it is not even a guarantee that this product will generate a volume of sales (though it never hurts!), but it does tell you, for the rest of your life, that you
attained a level of excellence in a world marketplace.

So we have taken stock of the many awards from past years that have been bestowed by the Specialty Food Association and decided that a list of them should be shared and preserved as they are important milestones in our family’s business. The list follows below—with our thanks.
